Toshiba Portege R500 laptop takes second place in the Vodafone/Pocket Lint Gadget Awards

Everyone loves ‘must-have’ gadgets, and it is with great pride that Toshiba can announce that the slimline Portégé R500 has snared second place in the laptop of the year award at the Vodafone/Pocket Lint Gadget Awards.

Finishing marginally behind the MSI Wind, which incidentally also won overall product of the year ahead of the Apple iPhone, Toshiba were no doubt delighted that the Portégé beat off some stiff opposition. No surprise, after Pocket Lint were so positive about it earlier in the year, stating that it is “a stylish and super-light notebook that will more than meet the need of the travelling businessman”.
